Boat International recounts the uniqueness of Benetti IJE, the 108-metre gigayacht for which we transformed into reality the dream of a shipowner who wanted a special aquarium. And that's not all...
108-meters-IJE is the longest yacht ever built by Benetti and inside it beats a “Nextworks” heart. The highlight of our work was to transform the dream of a gigantic aquarium that would not imprison the splendid creatures that inhabit the seas into reality. We did this by conceiving, designing and building a virtual aquarium that unfolds through 5 portholes.
